Actually, it would have. They don’t have the manpower to suppress open mass violence. No, actually. Modern civilian police forces only have the capacity to keep a lid on small spurts of violence, like less than 1% of the population committing crimes. Military police can’t do much better.

And even now, with all the evil brainwashing they put in place, they don’t have the political clout to do the latter.
